EFEKTIFITAS MODAL KERJA DAN LIKUIDITAS SERTA DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP KEBIJAKAN DIVIDEN PERUSAHAAN BERBASIS SYARIAH

Abstract

This article discusses to analyze the companies' financial performance i.e. the effect of working capital measured by Net Working Capital (NWC) on dividend policy as proxied by Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), the influence of working capital on liquidity as measured by Current Ratio (CR), the influence of liquidity on dividend policy and the effect of working capital on dividend policy through liquidity. This study was conducted on companies registered consistently in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) in Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). This study uses path analysis to examine the effect of working capital on dividend policy with liquidity as an intervening variable. The results of this research showed that working capital had no significant effect on dividend policy. In other words, an increase in working capital cannot affect the dividend policy decisions taken by the company. In addition, working capital did not have a significant negative effect on liquidity. This study also found that liquidity had no significant relevancy on dividend policy so. Furthermore, liquidity was not able to mediate working capital on dividend policy, as working capital did not influence dividend policy though liquidity is one factor influencing dividend policy.
